It looks as Iif even babies would eventually be swathed in cellophanes, so completely are we all going over to synthetics and plastics. But where do these clean practical materials fit more properly than in the nursery where pristine freshness is of such vital importance? The most modern â€" and _ incredibly hygienic nursery â€" we‘ve â€" encountered was designed by a brilliant pair of pioneers in plasticsâ€"â€"Paul Bry and Jo Kim. And for all that aseptic perfecâ€" tion, the room manages to have charm too, which is important where babies are concerned.. Tenite is the plastic in this caseâ€"it is woven into a fragile looking transparent mesh which is used for sides and ends of a very new sort of crib made with barrel hoop ends of bleached walnut with pale blue Jeathereite trim.. Novel also is an arangement for a sliding cover of clear transparent plastic sheeting that can be pulled up on tracks in the hoops to cover the crib, partly or completely and keep out drafts and dirt, Chests with wove door â€" fraines leatherette and top salmon pink. The Chests with woven tenite doors have door fraimes covereq with pale blue leatherette and tops of plastic in pale salmon pink. The floor is covered in a soft blue jaspe linoleum with a borâ€" dor of salmon color. Walls are painted in pale blue and . specially designed lamps of, wrought iron are finished in ivory. Floors, walls and furniture are all washableâ€"the tenite woven pantls, despite their delicate lustrous appearâ€" ance are very strong and durable and dirt resistant as well as washable.

The poorest man if he have any ingenuity and ability: may rise to the highest ranks of society, and, if necessary, I could point out many who adorn the country, the city, the Parliament . . .
